Wildfires and contaminated landscapes: The impact of wildfire on the mobility, transport and fate of metal(loids) in a subarctic shield landscape
Principal Investigator: Devoie, Élise
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5898. The main goal of this project is to explore how wildfire will affect the stability and fate of metals and metalloids (i.e. arsenic, mercury, antimony) in mining contaminated and pristine landscapes. Metal(loid) concentrations in air, soil, and water in and around Boundary Creek (30 km west of Yellowknife) will be co...


Ekati
Principal Investigator: Donald, Derek
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5765. The main objectives of the field work for 2023 will be (1) to determine if the Ekati Diamond Mine is having an effect on the surrounding aquatic environment, wildlife, and air quality; and (2) to provide baseline data for areas where mine development may occur in the future. In winter, water samples will be colle...


Yellowknife Lithium Project Environmental Consulting Services
Principal Investigator: Brezenski, Jeff
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5636. The purpose of the baseline program field studies is to: characterize existing conditions in the project vicinity and surrounding region to support project planning, permitting, and development of a proposed lithium mine. One continuous air quality monitoring station will be installed to measure ambient concentratio...


Futures of Care: Community Challenges to Extraction in South Africa and Canada
Principal Investigator: Hall, Rebecca J
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5517. Grounded in community experience with and responses to extraction in northern Canada and coal mining communities in South Africa, our transnational approach is guided by following objectives: 1) to generate and share knowledge horizontally across mining-affected communities and through community/university partner...


Abandoned Mines in Northern Canada: Historical Consequences and Mitigation of Current Impacts
Principal Investigator: Sandlos, John K
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Summary: The research team will work closely with members of four NWT communities to identify the historical and continued impacts of abandoned mines adjacent to their communities. The research team will ask how mineral development impacted the social life, economic prospects and local environments of Northern communities throughout the twentieth century, considering carefully the connections between socia...


Speciation and Mobility of Antimony in Sediment, Pore Water and Surface Water in the Region of the Giant Mine, Yellowknife
Principal Investigator: Fawcett, Skya
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006 2005
Summary: Antimony originating from the operation of the Giant Mine will be studied to determine mobility, speciation, movement in the environment, and the geochemical controls on its release and attenuation. Dialysis arrays (peepers) will be used to collect pore waters from Baker Creek and Baker Pond on the Giant Mine site, and corers will be used to collect six cores from three aqueous environments on ...
